found in a river like something else to be happening. ah, the ah, a story that shapes the weeks, the u. s. and 20 military campaign in afghanistan, leaving the country in the hands of the same terrorist group. that defeated generation to go halting, acts retreated, american forces, destroy key equipment and all the helicopters. and there are a lot of them that were banned in the was have been cut various various electrical blocks, remove the building and returns of power. the taliban and support is celebrated. the u. s. withdraw with the grooves.

white flags flown across the country. jo, buttons, approval, lighting sinks to new lows. we look at how the us administration is trying to salvage this image up to the disastrous polar. and the british foreign secretary grilled by m p. 's over his handling of the african crisis and why he was relaxing on the beach and council. so when did you board holiday these before the holidays didn't. what did you go? i made what date was holiday for say, i think your own personal options, policies important. what was holding? ah, hey, the great have you where the joining the weekly here on open this week saw the us military conclude is longest ever war leaving canister to the fate of the same

terror group. washington overthrew. 20 years ago. the remaining american troops left the country in the dead of night early on august 31st. that was deadline day. the telephone welcome the withdrawal with celebratory gunshots and fireworks right after the last u. s. military crafted taken off from cobble airport before they left. so just disabled, whatever equipment they could, which she can see now in one marines, video and on thursday or t correspond them read guess via went to see for himself what was left behind in the rush to get house. these place looks very different to what we arrived to during the evacuation that cleaning the place up. there's set enormous amount of work to do what with all the vehicles, all the armament tool, the i'm you mission that was left behind by us and allied forces as they were treated as above. while there was of this tool as

a person that is still being cleaned up, but as i say, there's a lot of work to do these evacuation that the pentagon calls the largest and most complex in he st, left a whole lot of trash behind trash, wreckage and they, bree the taliban command, that tells us they destroyed 95 percent of the equipment to stuff and systems. they destroyed everything and destroyed cars. airplanes, especially the military or for us are destroyed 100 percent. we asked to see the airport and once crammed into the back of a pickup truck, we got our wish. it was like a movie set. a disaster in our 1st stop was the helicopter graveyard. all the helicopters and there are lots of them that were abandoned at capital airport. they have been sabotaged quite visibly. the wires have been cut various various electrical blocks removed and smashed, apparently with a sledge hammer,

anything the taliban or even afghans could use. the americans destroyed and what they couldn't bring themselves to destroy. they let use the, the don't create the cause such a lot. you have yet many of the gods lives behind by americans. but they were locked in crates as we had be led to believe. we will let you at the dentist, someone before the vital us troops had taken someone, had opened all the crates and left them with, with food on line animal activists of mobilized in the thousands, their incense that the american troops could have left behind these dogs. right there next to the runway. at the mercy of the taliban. the americans live the dogs to get out from the specific places. but our teens or officials called the in

charge of those dogs. and to dave, they came to the port and they are trying to collect the docks and they are trying to the facility for them and what they need to give them all we can say that these may be just what the taliban needs. a p r stuck collect the dogs, had the move with the activities and reap the humanitarian glory. alternatively, they may have enough on their plate. the other interesting thing about the airport is the, the hundreds of armored diplomatic vehicles that have been left here abandoned during the evacuation. they used these vehicles to block off roads while the evacuation was on the way. this is passport control at capital international airport. this is the states that it was left in after the evacuation was complete for some reason, other than destroying or the military vehicles and aircraft that the united states

left behind. they also destroyed much of the airport civilian infrastructure, computers, x rays, cameras, even arrival and departure screens. here they saying it was the americans who cut the power cables knocked over the monitors, smashed windows and kicked in doors, even new to the vending machines. why? perhaps boredom, bats hate. you don't end the 20 year war and leave in a humiliating evacuation without feeling a little bit of st. it's more i'd guess d a r g couple. i've gotten this done. over in the u. s. the bodies of soldiers killed in the recent attack on campbell airport. we're return to dover air force base. 13 service members were among a 170 people killed in suicide bombing. the oldest of the soldiers was just 31 long . those paying their respects with the us president of the

celtic things that i've got this town of joe biden hard in the ratings only 43 percent of americans approve of his performance. according to a new poll, that's his worst number since he started the job down 6 percent after the chaotic withdrawal from cobble. so what a p r campaign allow the administration to win back the hearts and minds of voters . we've been finding out areas in the law, us soldier, to leave afghan, is don major general chris donahue, of the 2nd one soon to be played on the screen by bradley cooper or chris or jay to thinking who nice thing i do know is, is definitely going to be a movie, because now the robots of ross got installing, has been lost by the u. s. than it's buddies. the real battle we're getting the battle to make light and i turn the u. s. actually one. well, maybe not one, not miracle workers, but make it look, they didn't lose quite badly. exhibit one is in fact,

the aforementioned major general chris donahue. there is no way that this picture here was there. and if the payoff do it and heroic green, send it out into the well, the media will govern it without question. say stuff like this, the last american soldier to leave afghanistan. you know to me that the last american troops left janice and i mean, come on. you think this is really the last us don't do enough gun. we will not forgive. we will not forget. we will hunt you down to make you pay that angry old uncle joe biden. they're talking about this new all this long. my says k ought to be confused with k pop or special k ordered as strikes. so whenever they pop on what it might be, hard to believe, given their general accuracy for their strikes, you still need special forces on the ground, guiding them in just in case civilians game and

civilians were dated on monday or us trying to strike reportedly killed 10 members of one family, most of them children. authentic on says the target was a vehicle carrying several suicide bombers from isis, k. local splinter group of islamic state to planning an attack in campbell. the us military has confirmed it carried out the strike saying it resulted in secondary explosions. central command said it was aware reports of civilian casualties and launched an investigation and it all adds to the vast desks all over the course of a to decade long was this kind of a devastating cost ah ah, ah ah,

to tell it now has more black hawk helicopters than 85 percent of the countries in the world. i and i still exist in our growing gamut stand and eventually they acquire these weapons. oh jordy of every member behind the vetch. we now have american stuff going to get the taliban in charge with mo, more weaponry, and they've ever had in the past in a border that is open. ah,

a humanitarian catastrophe. loons in afghanistan on the top of the population, need few monetary assistance. one and 3 don't know where the next from you will come from. will the u. k. had the 2nd largest military presence in afghanistan and the british foreign secretary has been grilled over some major missteps during the withdrawal or the shadow dash the has the story. pair in the heart of rest and it only feels like a matter of time until the foreign secretary will be given that the incompetence of the nature withdrawal is canceled. on munition, the dominant cloth found himself under fire for his disappearing cobble south. he was on holiday for what exactly did he go? a detail. he dodged 11 times for the seats of transparency vehicle nations. when did you will hold the beach? did you go and holiday invested in? what did they are?

what they did? you go? i made what date on the holiday foreign secretary of state, i think your own personal transparencies reports and what date you and holiday so you can run, but you can't hide in this touch. your parents who blame dorothy intelligence for the speed at which the region was seized by the taliban. although a leak foreign office risk assessment showed that the department, the one he himself was in charge of wound up stone was on the brink of collapse. piece talks a stall on the u. s. nato withdrawal is resulting in rapid taliban advances. this could lead to fall of cities claps of security forces. telephone return to power, masters placement and significant humanitarian need as a days and weeks go by the taliban takeover. the foreign secretary falls under more and more scrutiny even from colleagues in his own party, many of whom have served enough to nissan, and arguably, never know more about the country than he does. when was it also in

a foreign minister way to a 2nd? went to becca, i'm not sure i'd have to check if you'd like to know. the busiest seems particularly ready because high come us was recent is better, start arranging the evacuation of german people through tashkent and it seems to be a route that works really effectively from germany. tell minutes i could stop the us from a tracy from don, getting a wall declining phone calls from counterparts and literally putting you had in the sound won't make the situation old problem disappear. and the comments were, let him forget who is take response to the helpline and the email address in your department, not even being opened. so the, the issue as you have a search for the door is that you have a search of emails including late emails and requests like that. but let me just explain the situation for you. just purely transparency. we got the 3 types of cases. they melting away together, frankly,

and coaches that didn't use 3 different question question on the service. this looks like a family of planning on, on grunz. ok. so we have finally decided to follow as foreign counterpart lead and head to the region. but it's a bit late now, considering all western forces have left us on neighboring countries of clothes that brought us to not to mention the numbers of british national still stock that how will they get out, or even will they know constant numbers remaining. but we think that they would be in the low hundreds, why 100 she mean $110.00 sort of area or do you mean to under $3400.00? they will be low, hundreds and hundreds sounds that it could be 400 or it could be 10510115 . i'm if i could give you any more precision cuz i would let me somewhere between 10500. so let me explain. k nationals. so let me explain why it's difficult. and

the same grilling dominate. rob into the age old man tries to us remains our closest allies, of course. so you can follow the us and assuming the asked on government could keep the taliban at bay and didn't prepare for the west as every government should. but does this make rob a writer and john forest johnson have a leg to stand on when rob incompetent seems to encapsulate the government's loss of control? as a whole, public person doesn't have knowledge and who is supposed to to protect the nation. it doesn't make me feel that i can trust politicians. my whole opinion of the government is not very high. and as a dominic rob, so behavioral things appointing. i'm just sure that she doesn't know what to be in this type. actually not the best. i mean to, to be a british, but someone gives you 4 days or 5 days to clear out a country's got much chances. and everyone thinks me more,

more concerned with his own and depression that he is making on the world. well, there's not what, what's going on in the world around him. just come on the weekly, are teens at south, on a spectacular voice to the north. ho, dave, russian nuclear icebreaker site. some things that had been the ah, i see what your mind indeed gets up against and with a great decision over the last 30 years it, it was the 1st decision which didn't follow the course of the events in history. why it was an attempt to change the course and the biggest task on the strip is to contradict history,

is to change the historical part of the national 4 important. what actually drama? indeed the what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk the will come back. heavy gunfire has been reported in the capital of the west african nation of guinea. military vehicles are also patrolling the city streets

according to local medium mutinous, special forces soldiers, the rest of the country's president, along with a number of other top ranking officials. the k lead is reportedly dissolve the government in close to countries. borders. authorities claim that the presidential god manage defend off the attack guinea, which has a long history of military coups, so violent and rest, following the presidential election last october, protest as acute alfa con day of you searching his office. he changed the constitution to allow himself to run for a term until now to add to one of the most inhospitable places on the planet. the frozen north were all correspondent joined. some intrepid travellers were on board, a russian nuclear icebreaker bound for the north thought. the ice breakers main job is to guide tankers through rushes, frozen northern seas. but in the summer, when it's downtime the ship carries tories to the north pole,

the vessel is large and heavy. it takes to tug boats to pull it out from its moorings and we're sailing off into the arctic ocean. so for the next 10 days it's going to be ice water, more ice, more water, and yeah. humming of the ship's nuclear reactors. the 50 years of victory was launched in 1993 and as the world's 2nd largest nuclear icebreaker. it used to be number one until recently with them the arctic again line, which is even bigger and more powerful. other countries also have icebreakers, but only russia hasn't powered by atomic energy because of its size. i guess i keep losing sense of direction around here. so for instance, right now, i'm trying to find my cabin, but i have no idea where it is. i

use the 50 years of victory, both the gym, basketball court restaurant convention, whole flash disco bar. given a swimming pool filled with salty, sea water. technically you can swim in the arctic ocean without leaving the icebreaker. let the deaf and dark habit, though nothing fancy. why it has everything we need. we found a couple of big bags in one of the drawers. there were minor of rocket and get in the ocean. the room has what look, it even has a humidifier and it also has its tv, but only 2 channels. one shows you the route and gives you the view from the ship bow. so given the fact that there is no internet and mobile reception whatsoever, this is about all digital entertainment that you will get on board. but you can

always gaze in the window and enjoy using our good news. now it's time to meet the captain. a tall, handsome man who likes to smoke his bite on the bridge while steering the mighty vessel forward. at the other 20 miles, it's the rudder isn't or stands through a move through all the more. you can effectively call the ship's wheel, the rudder. and it has automatic steering, which holds the ship's course, of course. so this is something like an auto pilot, right? nice axiom of that. quite an auto pilot. auto pilot is what keeps an aircraft in 3 dimensions. whereas on a ship, it's just to show up. and then if i turn the rudder or then it was, it was just a new course. the vessel will turn in just to a new steady cause. and this is what happens on a lower deck every time the captain adjust the course, the helm sets these large pistons in motion,

which turns the ship left. we're right. we were on the bridge interview and the captain and we were lucky enough to side our 1st arctic iceberg. shoot you this back to the day. icebergs aren't 100 percent white. they have these beautiful to wash sheet. they also come in handy for local birds. after 2 days of sailing, we reach friends, joseph land, and uninhibited arctic archipelago which belongs to russia are now the most dangerous part of our journey begins. if something happens, it will take days for someone to come rescue us from now on. we can count only in ourselves and our captain the well, this is what it feels like. the ice breaker allowing for the trembling of the can't ship hit the ice.

you might think that an icebreaker, ramsey, i but it actually rides upon it 1st and then crushes downward with all the might. and that's one. the propellers come into play. they help chop the into small pieces, painting the way forward, watching the ship break, the arts and push drain, trying to decide is mesmerized. it's really both calming and intimidating at the same parts of the ship start to cover with ice as we get closer to the north. however, the temperature isn't extreme just under 0 degrees celsius. unlike me, veteran polar explorer who we interviewed on the deck even refused to put his hat on the prison. it's a common misconception that the north pole is the coldest spot on the earth. it's completely false. the north pole is the middle of an ocean. the ocean does it kind

of have storage as it allows temperature spikes frequently at the north pole is warmer than let's say in tango or mac on or who ends. it means the pole of cold does not coincide with an actual geographical walk. on the 3rd day we saw our 1st polar bear was taking a nap on an ice floor. before we woke up the beer gave a grumpy look. walk away and try to fall asleep again. well, don't be full by his adorable look. these are deadly wild animals that aren't or he is worried tech and human and you see it live in the arctic is no picnic can feed is in short supply for these animals and a polar bear will go after anything that's moving. it's been there a time even for you. what a lot of people the ship really missed is good asleep midnight. but look how bright it is. ah, it's really hard to adjust to the polar day. and a lot of passengers,

including myself, are having a hard time falling asleep to see the sun rises incense just once per year, which makes time of day and irrelevant concept here. that goes to the time itself, by the way, we'll get to that. but the north pole, on the 5th day, all eyes were on gps coordinates as everyone's waiting to finally reach 90 degrees north. this is from here, every direction you look at south. there is nobody above us. we are literally on top of the world. i don't know. let me say it again. we are on top of the well we're against the mind blowing. if you want to know what time it is, it's basically whatever you like it to me. want to play by the way,

all the way from the mainland to show you all of the strong arming together at the top or at the bottom just like really longitude so we can determine time on the planet. so at the north or south pole this all the time zones and none of them the same time, no time, no other people just be down las frozen desert. it was most real experience in my life. well, until this happened to women in the order in north pole after all, and only had 2 people made in here when on top of the world. so i'm going the job with the leg. each magical in this place to me personally,

is that you exist within one dimension with the world around the social you, in case time with the rhythms of all the people who are close ones friends relative to scaffolding different parts of the well. unless in this way, if you're in one dimension with nick, you have some time one could look at how we live on the right or wrong deal with a use rush gun reporting for our teeth from the north pole.

the who's the the war on drugs noted as a way to come back, a great problem. what's the warranty? it's part of the attitude of the nation, not just of north dakota. it's got to be something that you could get elected. this time, the fight against drugs took a check. he told us that andrew was competent short form. this is way too dangerous for him to be doing. clearly they put him in harm's way. a rural college student does interest get shot in the head and found in the river like something else had to be happening.

the in the me ah hello and welcome to part for the most for leaving in history for people is a bit like swimming in water for fish. both species are too far side had to comprehend what's immediately in front of them. but recently the scale and the speed of transformations have intensified so much that it's impossible not to notice the change though the question of what to do about it still remains open. what the charge john to start with, i'm now joined by the board. the program director at the vault di discussion club and also of the recently published book europe, russia, and deliver a world order. mr. borders, i've had

a great to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. i'm sure you would agree with my opening statement that the world is changing fast, but you wrote recently that the consequences of such transformations will be very specific, very individual for each and every country. and that in itself presents one of the hardest problems in foreign affairs today. why is that? what we often do, even though the deeds of the relatively similar institutionalized public organisms are each of them represents its own unique position in terms of the geo politics. story experience and economics, initial economic possibilities. and these 3 factors there form how the stays, develop and holiday react to the outside challenges and opportunities call the behave from the perspective of the day international relation.
